Don't get me wrong, I am not against gun ownership, but unless there is training involved where the gun owner is placed under stress, the heart is beating at 100+ bpm, there's shortness of breath, and the sweat is running down your face, then it's best not to carry a firearm. Just regular target practice won't get it.

The average person might think they know what to do when faced with a life-and-death situation involving a firearm, but believe me, they don't. However, I also understand the axiom of it being better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Lots of things to think about, but training needs to be a big part of the equation before strapping on.

Why would this change in the law send anyone down your imaginary "slippery slope"? Why would this change in the law entice anyone to purchase a firearm if they didn't already have one? Permitless concealed carry was already legal...
